Default My New Car

I recently purchased a '12 Nissan Juke as a DD. It was great, but I realized it just wasn't for me. So I traded it in for a less unattractive Nissan. Sorry for the crappy pics.

Nice Z34! I would say that's a nice upgrade for a daily. Have any plans for it?

Thanks guys. But all I really care for are some Swift springs, wheel spacers, intake, HFCs, and CB exhaust. My TEs would probably end up on the 370Z (plus 10mm spacers in the back). I'll probably just save up for some GT-S wheels for the 350Z

Swift springs all the way... definitely one of my favorite purchases for the Z.

^^ I hear ya, the drop and performance seems to be top notch. Ovefall, I'm still trying to get used to the car after being away from my 350Z (or any MT car) for over a year.

Thanks! But man, tell me about it. I was in denial for almost 2 months.

Thanks bro. I think I like Midnight Blue more than San Marino Blue. Gold wheels would look great indeed.

The Juke was a great DD. It had AWD, GPS, Bluetooth, everything. The problem was in my short time of ownership, not once did I wash or vacuum it. More importantly, not once did I look back whenever I parked it. Not sure about you guys, but that says a lot. I used to hate the 370Z and its styling. Now, I can see the appeal. Still on the fence about the revised front end though, I kinda like the fangs. God, I never thought I'd say that.

That happened to me, I hope I never make that mistake again. Bought a brand new TSX and drove it for a little over a month. Each day I noticed that I cared for it less and less. It got dirty and it didn't matter to me, didn't care to drive it other than use it for transportation. The longer I kept it the less I cared about it.

Congrats on the new 370, I want one.

Thank you. Having a 370Z after being away from the 350Z for more than a year is exciting. I'm working on getting it shipped to Guam, so hopefully that happens soon. The 300ZX is JDM so unfortunately, it would have to stay overseas for another 8 years . In the meantime, I'm going to convince my wife that a set of springs and spacers are only $300. Oh, and so are HFCs .

I'm not a fan of the revised front end -- they had a few 13's on the lot the day I was looking, but I decided to go with a 2012 instead. I personally like the fangs.

I just started to like the fangs, literally, just a few days ago after I saw a few modded 370Zs. They definitely add to the agressiveness and character of the car. Though a lot of owners dislike the new bumper, the new front end is quickly growing on me. The LEDs look good when lit. Even the weird wheels look good and modern after a while.

That's a gorgeous colour, it's definitely still blue even in that low light pic.

Would that not then look a bit Subaru'ish?
